1. A pattern printing apparatus comprising:
an ink output section including a nozzle that drops ink onto a drawing target region of a substrate and a heating section that heats a preheating target region of the substrate positioned at a predetermined distance from the drawing target region; a driving section that moves the substrate relative to the ink output section; and a control section that controls the driving section; wherein, when drawing a straight line of a pattern formed by the ink, the control section
causes the substrate to move relative to the ink output section such that the preheating target region is positioned in a progression path of the drawing target region, andcauses the pattern to be drawn; wherein, when switching an extension direction of the pattern being drawn by less than a predetermined angle, the control section
causes the substrate to rotate according to the extension direction, andcauses the pattern to be drawn; and wherein, when switching the extension direction of the pattern being drawn by greater than or equal to the predetermined angle, the control section
causes the substrate to rotate according to the extension direction,causes the preheating target region to backtrack to an end portion of an already drawn portion of the pattern,causes the preheating target region to be heated,causes the drawing target region to move to the end portion of the already drawn portion of the pattern, andcauses a remaining portion of the pattern to be drawn. |
